Tomato Galette

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (213 g), plus more for flouring surfaces

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (142.5 g), cold and cut into small cubes

  • 4–5 tablespoons ice-cold water

  • 4 oz. fresh goat cheese, at room temperature

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced (white and green parts)

  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest

  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 3 medium tomatoes, sliced ½ inch thick

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • Fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Place flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix.

  2. Add cold butter cubes and pulse 8–10 times until the butter resembles small clumps.

  3. Turn the machine on and add 4 tablespoons of ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time.

  4. If the dough hasn’t come together, add the remaining water until it forms a ball.

  5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, form into a 4-inch disk, and wrap in plastic.

  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  7. Remove from the fridge 10 minutes before rolling it out.

  8. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  9. In a bowl, mix goat cheese, scallion, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until combined.

  10. Line a small sheet pan with paper towel, place tomato slices on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  11. Sprinkle your work surface with flour and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle.

  12. Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

  13. Arrange tomato slices over the cheese. Overlapping is fine—they will shrink while baking.

  14. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.

  15. Brush the outer crust with egg yolk.

  16. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

  17. Transfer the galette to a wire rack to cool before serving.
